CORRESPONDENCE.

On Monday evening of this week,
there was a meeting CT citizens at an
up town store, the following account
of which has been handed in for pub
Iication:
"The practicability of making no
license an issue at the coming
election was thoroughly discussed,
and upon its being shown that there
were at least one-third of the voters
in the village that were known to
favor it, it was decided to pnt up a
No License ticket. No ticket how
ever was nominated as the meeting
was entirely informal. There were
thirty representative voters present,
a large number of whom were IN
f1uentiaI business men. The utmost
unanlmity of opinion prevailed.
Many indeed becoming quite enthusi-
astic, arguing that if there were one
third of the votes that favored the
movement to commence with, there
were doubtless enough more who
would favor it to give the ticket a
majority at the polls.
A committee of five, consisting of
A. A. Stone, n. r. Spur, f. E.
Newell, A. DeKay and Chas. Pepper
was appointed to call a caucus and
recommend ticket for adoption"

The Rev. Sam Jones, whatever his
other characteristics, has a truly
Scriptural regard for money. If he
is correctly reported he says: II
have no use whatever for money; /
have all the money need. My needs
are supplied beautifully; my family is
comfortable and happy, and I don't
see what on earth l would do with
money if / had it. A couple Of hun
dred dollars in the bank is an abun-
dance, and is all have. AS long as
man has plenty for his wife and
children and himself he ought to be
contented. / don't think the Lord
sent me out into tie world to make
money; but he did send me into the
world to do good. AS far as my wife
is concerned, my life is insured for q
good round sum, the interest on
which, when | am gone, will be
enough to keep her."

On the I'd of December last num-
Der of tests We're made at Derby with
the prize car couplings shown at Nine
Elms in March oflast year, through
the offer of prize, the object of
which is to prevent the present loss
of life among car couplers. The con-
trivance which at the last demonstra-
ton elected the most unanimous APP
prevail is a light pole, about 5 it. 6 in.
in length, with skllllully devised
hook at the end, by which the chains
can be attached CT set free in won er-
fully short time. One man ran along
twenty cars and uncoup'ed them in
seventy seconds; another coupled
them again in seventy-six seconds.
This plan has been IN use on the
Midland Company's System for some
time, and has led to a decioed dim

The result of u census taken in
France has lust been announced.
mat nation, ii seems, has but little
over 38,O00,0 600 Of inhabitants, AMI tie
increase Of population, for thirty years
past, has been less than in amy 't'er
country in Europe. French journals
ana publicists take this matter very
much to heart, as the Germans, their
great enemies, are Increasing rapidly.
A law was passed, not long since, TO
encourage large families. Every sew

pense to his parents; and now NJ.
Fouquier advocates the taxation OF
bachelors. But he thinks that tins
negative inducement TO holy matri-
mony ought to be supplemented by
an lnducement cmpnatically positive.
The father Of Il family, according to
M. Fouquler's project, is to be allowed
an additional vote, or at least an adj
ditional fraction of a vote. for each
additional Legitimate son or daughter
presented to him by his wife. The
state must perish, according to this
lively publcist, unless it il firmly
grounded upon that equally necessary
and equally divine social organism
the family. This may seem absurd
to Americans, but tie waste OF hu-
man life, the preponderaloe Of deaths
over births, Which is true of large
cities everywhere, is beginning TO be
equal y marked in the rural districts
Of France. 1t is curious fact that as
civilization progresses tn2 number of
births decreases. 1t is poor families
that are the most prolific; out, with
the increase Of wealth ana culture,
fewer children are born. The human |

Oucr SteueRS 10. Bank,

Switzerland has recently enacted
two laws, the operation Of which will
be watched with the keeurat interest
all over the world. Ole is graduated
taxation. This applies - incomes.
Mere Iaborers, and those vino make
a bare living, are not taxed at all but
the larger the income, the heavier
the tax. Thus, man il receipt of
$4,000 per annum pays relatively
more than one whose yearly earnings
are S. ,000 or less. The object of the
law is to discourage large accumula-
tions of property. Indeed, it is
punishment to q man for being richer
than his fellows. III CIR country, the
rich who do not own real estate are
practically exempt from all taXations.
Personal property escapes nearly all
eXactions. The average working
man. through the operations OF the
tariff, pays almost as much to the
government as does jay Gould or any
of the Vanderbilts. This same Mr..
Gould is supposed to be worth $3.50
100000, OF which, peri1lps, $50, 000,
600, of which, perhaps, 100000 is i'll
real estate. But the latter is taxed
far more heavily than all tie rest of
his vast personal property, which is
in bonds and stocks. In Switzerland,
jaw Gould would be forced to pay an
enormous sum annually because of
this vast mass of personal property,
which is entirely untaXed in the
United States. But it is yet doubtful
if the graduated income tax will work
we'll in Switzerland Every rich, en-
terprising man, and large employers
of labor pronounce it unjust. They
say they cannot, or will not, conduct
large enterprises, it they are to be
punished for their public spirit or
business ambition. This graduated
tax is a very favorite one with the
so-calIed labor reformers, and it has
been Endorsed by very high authori-
ties. Joseph Chamberlain, the Rad
ical member OF the English Pertinent,
who his friends claim, may yet he
Prime Minister, fayors a graduated
income tax in Great Britain. Prince
Bismarck has given y qualified assent
to the theory that the rich should
give relatively more than the poor to
the support of the State.-From De-
morest's Monthly for March.

The state historical society keeps in
the capitol file IT each Of the news
papers Of the stgtp. This collection is
exceedingly valuable aid, in case of
loss, could not be replaced. The Pio-
ncer Press relates the following Incl
dent, showing one way in which
these old papers are Yaluable:
Two persons were married in GER
tain place in the state some years ago,
but had lost their certificates. They
had moved to an Eastern city, and it
was then found necessary on q GER
tain occasion TO furnish proofs that
they were man aub wife. After
various efforts to secure proof of the
ceremony, the man wrote to the state
librarian asking ham to search the
files of q certain paper for notice OF
the event. The notice VAS found and
an affidavit forwarded containing the
information. Iiis serves the par pose
for which the proofs had been wanted.

MORRIs-THE CAPITAL.
Probable Removal Of the Capital from St.
Paul to Morris,


Paul to Morris.
1t is at last definitely determined
that Minnesota's Capitol Is unsafe
and that anothermust be constructed.
1t is also reasonably certain that the
new capitol will not be built in st.
Paul. Minneapolis is making a de-
termined effort to secure the prize.
Naturally st. Paul opposes Minneap-
oils and will try to keep the capitol
in it's present location. The resslt
will be that some outside point will
be chosen as the future seat of govern
ment and at the present time, no
place is regarded more favorably than
Morris. Realizing this fact, the
people of Morris are organizing and
will unite in offering extraordinary
inducements to the state to have the
capitol located at tins point. A
section of land, bordering upon and
overlooking the Pomme de Tcrre
valley will be given and capitol
will be built upon it, much better and
much safer thar the present capitol,
and the whole will be presented to
the state free of charge. The Board
of Trade is considering the matter
and at its next meeting will undoub-
tedly set aside 100000, out OF funds
not otherwise appropriated, and the
enterprising business men of the
city will swell this sum TO the re-
quired amount 10y voluntary contrl-
buttons. Many of the large land
owners of the county will also give
material aid in raising necessary
funds. All realize that whatever is
done must be done quickly, and no
time will be lost. Several architects
are already at work upon plans for
the proposed building. "A committee
of Morri. citizens will go to st. Paul
Immediately to confer with members
of the legislature. Messrs. Hixson
and Costello are actively interested
and the prospects for success are ex-
ceedingly fair. Further develop
ments will be given next week.

A doctor told me story the other
day that will bearrepetition, not from
the moral to be drawn, but as illus
trating the habits of some people. He
was treating little boy for paralysis,
who lived short distance in the
country. In his visits to the doctor
the boy was accompanied by young
man twenty-five or twenty-three
years old, the ve"y picture of health,
whom, the doctor gave instructions
about the care of his patient. 81
want you to give this boy a bath every
day." said the doctor to the young
man, land then rub him down with

aglow and mind and follow my
directions explicitly - IA bath
every dayW exclaimed the young
man; "why, doctor. / haven't taken
n bath all over in thirteen years and
I have never been sick day in my
life" The doctor collapsed.-Pioneel

NJ. Finnegan, of the town of syn
mes, has just brought to this county
from Leonard Johnson's farm at
Castle Rock, thoroughbred
Norman Percheron stallion. The ami
NAL is fine enc, not quite three

pounds. This makes another impor-
tant addition TO the stock interests OF

The TRIBUNE office has just re-

nothing but first class work. and VIII
give it to you in copying ink, or any
other ink, at the lowest possible

Farmers should now see that every
thing is ready for springs work. The

machinery should be put in perfect

grain should be selected and cleaned
and the horses and oXen should have
increased feed and be put in working
condition. The exercise OF a little
forethought now will be worth a great
deal by and by.
